Chongqing recently had the deepest metro station in China. This is due to Chongqing’s unique mountain structure. After all, the name “Mountain City” is not unfounded. It is very difficult to build a subway on a mountain, so there are all kinds of bizarre buildings and deep subways. Here is the depth of Chongqing’s deepest metro station.
Chongqing’s deepest metro station is over 60 meters deep.
Where is Chongqing’s deepest metro station?
It is located at the north and south sides of Hong Huang Road in Jiangbei District, Chongqing. It is the station on line 6. Line 6 was built and put into use on December 30, 2014.
In Chongqing, the world’s second longest escalator, the Crown Escalator, is dazzling.
Recently, some people have revealed online that Chongqing not only has the most bizarre overpasses and escalators, but also the deepest metro station in China. Passengers need to spend more than 3 minutes on the escalator before they can stop and fully get off or get close to the station.
This deepest metro station is Hongtudi Station on line 6 of Chongqing Metro. It is well located on the north and south sides of Hong Huang Road in Jiangbei District, Chongqing. Line 6 was built and put into use on December 30, 2014.
Many people are skeptical about how deep this station is, so some people went to experience it in person.
Starting from the escalator at the bottom of the platform, it took 3 minutes and 15 seconds to reach the ground entrance of the light rail station after 4 escalators. This proves that what was revealed online is true.
A reporter interviewed several citizens who rode the escalator, and they all said it represents the characteristic of Chongqing’s uphill and downhill terrain.
Liu Xiaowen, a resident, lives nearby and commutes to and from work every day through this platform. Besides the four escalators, she also has to walk a distance, “Walking like this every day is a good workout.”
Xiao Wang, a 22-year-old citizen, is a junior at a university in Beijing. Last summer, his dorm friend came to Chongqing to play. When they passed through Hongtudi Station, they were shocked by the steep escalators in front of them.
Chongqing’s interchange bridge is so complicated that even the navigation system cries.
Xiao Wang said: “I have never seen this scene in the north. My classmate was very curious and exclaimed that this is indeed a characteristic of Chongqing.”
According to Xinhua News Agency, Hongtudi Station on line 6 of Chongqing Rail Transit is 60 meters underground, which is three times the standard depth of an air raid shelter (20 meters). It has four floors and takes more than 3 minutes to take the escalator, which exceeds the Crown Escalator at Erlukou that Chongqing people are proud of.
Netizen comments:
Chongqing is so awesome. I just want to ask how long it takes to climb the stairs if the elevator breaks down.
It depends on how fast you climb. Is it at a constant speed or with acceleration? I guess most people will be decelerating.
Only the ride time is longer, but the rest of the data is still crushed by the Crown Escalator.
Xingke Avenue Station on line 9 is deeper than Hongtudi Station, close to 70 meters, and construction has already begun.
I just want to know how long I have to climb the stairs if the power goes out.
Friends, let’s pray that the elevator doesn’t have any accidents. If the power goes out, I have to climb so high. I feel sorry for the coupon guy just thinking about it.
Yes, yes. The last time I went to Chongqing, I was happily taking the escalator, but when I looked down halfway, my legs went weak.
Chongqing is really a magical city. The subway is 3 times deeper, GPS is useless, the light rail goes through walls, and there is a glass bridge.
